FALL BREAK


Our girls had school off last Thursday through Monday. It was so nice for them to be able to have a break and relax a bit. Lindsey and Katie didn't have cross country practice and they were so glad! They both have injuries and needed a break! There was lots of reading, relaxing, hanging out with and having sleep overs with cousins, a family dinner and we were even able to go and see Spiderman as a family at the dollar movies Friday night!!!! Wow! It's been a long time since we've all gone to a movie together! 

Saturday morning we got up early and drove down to Cedar City. We helped my Dad buy and install a new microwave and did some cleaning for him, then we all went to the Shakespearean Festival and saw Les Miserables. It was so great! We had a lot of fun being together as a family. Les Miserables is my FAVORITE book. Katie read it last year and was SO excited to see the play. We had all read the book except for Lindsey and Ellie...so we all loved it! It was great fun! :) We took Grandpa out to dinner and then dropped him off at home and got him set up to watch the BYU game. We drove home to watch the game at our house (we TiVo'd it). What a disapointer!!  


Here's some pics of us before the play... we got in trouble for taking them... oops!
Here's a nice close up of Katie... aren't these girls cute!?!!

Matt, Katie and Lindsey. I heart my Kiddos! :)

On Thursday Nathan came over and hung out with us for the day. We had fun shopping at Savers for Halloween costumes, then we went and cashed in on a "free meal" at Cafe Rio and went to the park. It was such AWESOME weather. We totally enjoyed ourselves with soccer, tennis, collecting "hay corns" and fall leaves... it was quite delightful!
